Vibe Lawyering with Artur Serov
🎙️ This week we sit down with Artur Serov — a Senior Commercial Counsel working in-house across corporate, commercial, and AI compliance — who has been quietly vibe coding legal tech solutions that rival features in commercial platforms.
This is a practical, how-I-did-it episode. Artur walks us through his journey from first principles — the failed early experiments, the tools that unlocked progress, and the specific steps any curious lawyer could follow to start building.
Artur shares his screen during our conversation to demo a Word add-in with features he couldn't find in commercial legal tech (party-aware context, risk appetite dials, AI-powered negotiation prep), and previews a more ambitious workspace prototype where AI retains memory across an entire transaction lifecycle. Since publishing this prototype has evolved, and you can read more about that here.
Artur is candid about what's now possible: with Claude Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3, self-built solutions can get remarkably close to enterprise-grade. But he's equally honest about the remaining hurdles — deployment, maintenance, security — and his belief that a growing community of "vibe lawyers" will help solve them together.

What you might take from this conversation:
- The First Principles Path to Technical Fluency — How Artur went from zero coding experience to working prototypes, using Claude as a teacher and Google Antigravity as his development environment
- What's Missing from Commercial Legal Tech — Why context is the killer feature, and how Artur built deal-aware AI that knows who you represent, what you're negotiating, and what risks you're willing to take
- The Workspace Vision — A prototype where AI memory persists across NDAs, partnership agreements, and every document in a transaction — with your playbooks and policies embedded as reference materials
- Why Building Makes You Better at Everything Else — From vendor negotiations to IT collaboration, how technical fluency transforms your effectiveness as in-house counsel
- How to Get Started — Artur's practical advice: a Claude subscription, Google Antigravity, and the willingness to ask "how do I do this?"
